MBH Discarded/adopted
« on: December 21, 2015, 06:03:54 AM »
An acquaintance picked this up out of a laneway. It was a throw away.
No letter code on the damper so made before '79, right?

The "b" on your vent is not enlarged so it is a 78' according to the chart. Very nice Kettle.....I see no porcelain loss. I'd be thanking that acquaintance profusely.

She picked it up as a discard, not me :( And she's keeping it. Nice find.

In that case see if she wants a modern model with sweeps and an ash bucket. If so find a cheap OTG and trade her.

I thought it was just a crappy pic for color, but it is the dark green color.

Really? If it's actually a forest/hunter green then it's quite a rare mbh.

I thought it was black also but then she said she was naming it Smokey Green. :/
I asked if it was green and not black and she said yes, a dark forest green.
I replied "awwwwww geeeeeze!!"
It's just the crappy pic that makes it look black
